How are level triggered EXIU interrupts affected by this change?

This is not entirely true. The PHY interrupt is also wired to the
EXIU, but this never worked reliably, so we don't expose this in the
DT or ACPI tables.
I wonder if this change would help, but I don't remember exactly what
the problem was.
